What the families we serve say...

Dear Sirs,

I know I am late in thanking you for all that you’ve done for me & my family but as we near the holiday season I can only think back with much love, appreciation & respect for your professionalism and regard for me and my family earlier this year. I am Mary E Wilson Walkers’ oldest daughter and I know I speak for myself, my sister & brother-in-law Jessie & Curtis Wright and all of our extended family when I say, Thank you for all your help & assistance as you organized & hosted the celebration of my mother’s life in January 2018. For us it wasn’t a sad occasion – it was a celebration of her life and all of the people that she touched. You and your staff were instrumental in how all of that happened. I hope you can forgive me in how long it’s taken for me to tell you of my appreciation. Bless you and my best regards,

Charles RemboldOctober 22, 2018

I can not say enough about CFCC. They were very helpful and guided me when I did not know what to do, when my dad died unexpectedly last year. Zach would answer my million questions that I had and reassured me that all will be taken care of. Zach also helped my mother with a pre need and when she passed away this past month, made sure all her wishes were followed. I would definitely recommend their services.

Emma OrtizOctober 15, 2018

Steve, Zach and Stuart – thank you so much for everything you did for our Daddy, George Biggers, and our family. From the time Stuart arrived at the hospital to pick him up, we knew he was in caring, capable hands. All of you went above and beyond in handling the several challenges that we faced since Dad passed away as a result of an accidental fall. You made sure that our family was first and foremost the most important people in the world during a time when our world was turned upside down. All of you became our extended family, and we feel blessed that you were there for us. We will never forget the loving care we received from Carolina Funeral Services.

Carolyn Coffey, Cathy Haupt, Gen Biggers and Gene ConderMay 19, 2018

Dear Steve & Staff; I would like to thank you for the wonderful job done for my son Earl Davonne Washington. Your professionalism, kindness and caring will never be forgotten. I was able to say " see you later" to my son with dignity and pride.Sincerely Venetta Washington & Family

Venetta Washington & FamilyMay 1, 2018

Dear Zachary, I wanted to thank you and your team for taking great care of my Dad, Terry Kellum, recently. I never met you, but my phone call with you to pre-plan preparations for getting my dad back to Mississippi was a good experience. then, when the time came, your team made the process easy. Charlie Oliver, the receiving funeral director, was very impressed and told several members of our family that he was very impressed with the quick turn around before Easter weekend, and said that you did everything exactly the way you said you would. We are very grateful for your professionalism and dignity towards taking care of our loved one. Many thanks, Joy Greear and the family of Terry Knox Kellum.

Joy GreearApril 26, 2018

I walked in off the street without an appointment after a very upsetting experience with another cremation service. Steve dropped everything he was doing and quickly and easily made arrangements to have my loved one cremated that same day. He called me and kept me informed every step of the way—when he picked her up, when he took her to the crematory, and when he went to pick up the ashes. It is truly rare to find such compassionate, efficient service. I cannot find enough words of praise. Steve is a truly good human being.

The service at the VA National Cemetery including the Honor Guard and Chaplain was befitting and beautiful. Your gift to us was a touching and kind gesture of sympathy and will always be remembered. Joe & Beth Ferraro

Joe & Beth FerraroFebruary 3, 2017

When you are facing the most difficult time in your life, a kind, caring individual who wants the same thing you do for your loved one is so very important. Zachary was patient, and listened to the family to ensure we could proceed with the wishes of my husband. Even now, after all the final arrangements are complete, he continues to be a support and complete professional. There are really no words...

Tracy EdwardsFebruary 1, 2017

Zach & Stuart, It's been a really difficult time for our family with the passing of my sister a few days ago.

Our sincere Thanks- Dre Carkhum and family.

Zach, I am thankful for your kind and competent service. We feel you provided us with great guidance and that you were promptly attentive and accessible. Thanks

Steve and his colleagues went far and above anything we could have expected. He made it easy to take care of the arrangements when we knew our father was not going to be with us for much longer. The service and his support went beyond our expectations. You made a very difficult time much easier to deal with because we had nothing to worry about. Our father was treated with dignity and respect and had an incredible send off. Thank you for making this easier for my mother to say goodbye to her partner of 55 years.

Florence BratyanskiDecember 5, 2016

My family and I are very grateful, and can unreservedly recommend CFCC to anyone in need of mortuary services. Zachary, Steve, and the staff are entirely competent, sympathetic, and forthcoming. They explain what is needed with great care, and then proceed promptly and thoroughly, and for very reasonable charges. You will not regret trusting CFCC with these most important preparations.

Mark MckinneyFebruary 22, 2016

When I find a product or a service that I really like, I like to give back to them with some props. I've known Steve Kuzma, Owner at Carolina Funeral and Cremation Center since I was a hospice nurse back in the early 90s. Steve took care of my Mother-in-Law a couple of years back, and drove to Raleigh to take care of my Mom's arrangements! He provides a very thoughtful and caring service at a very reasonable cost, and I highly recommend them!

Wm. Scott EthridgeJanuary 14, 2016

The family of Charlotte Jenkins would like to thank Zackary from the bottom of our hearts. We would of not been able to do the service so smoothly if it wasn't for your personality keeping us laughing and keeping our mind off of the hard part of burying a loved one.
